rica/cellphone fraud

I received the following mesage: You have won R250 000 and a laptop in the rica yearly promo, ref no (Y22N). Call mr James on 081 278 2243 for your claims and activate your pin.
I immediately knew this is a scam and contacted Cell C and 8ta to inform them of the above scam.

I received an sms sayin
g ive won 500.000 with a ref no i decided to indulge de
and fynd out how dey scam people.dey told me to buy
60 rands mtn airtym for dey computer so dat dey can transfer
da money imagine how many people a hit evri dae

I also received, "Notification! Your cell no. was randomly selected in RICA 2013 Draw. Congratulation! You've won R550,000 and HP Laptop. For claim call 0817421153 with Ref. RC11". These people need to be stopped! Where do they get our contact details?

I just received this SMS from 0741271661 stating "Congratulation! Your Mobile Number Has Won You R 1,000,000.00 in Rica 2013 Promo. REF NO. SA231 Call Ms Lerato On 0741675982 For Ur Claims, sa231@outlook.com" I phoned the number and indeed a 'Ms Lerato' answered and wanted my ref number and cell phone number. I asked her who she works for and she said a UK company but when I asked her about the 'outlook' email account, she seemed puzzled. This is a SCAM!!! DON'T give them your cell number at all!!!

I just received this message: CONGRATULATION! Your Mobile Number Has Won You R 1,000,000.00 In Rica 2013 Promo, REF NO. SA231 Call MRS LERATO On 0741675982 For Ur Claims: sa231@outlook.com. Is anyone doing anything about this?
